NEW BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Hawken’s Harvest
Some of the best Christmas treasures aren’t found in big-box stores… they’re made in garages, barns, and workshops right here in Mid-Michigan.
This season, Reese has a new maker turning heads with simple, rustic pieces that feel like Christmas morning itself: Hawken’s Harvest.
A small, family-run startup with deep Tuscola County roots, Hawken’s Harvest creates handcrafted wooden Christmas trees, each one built from solid lumber, painted in festive colors, and finished with a beautiful bow that gives it its own personality.
They’re the kind of decorations that look good anywhere… by the fireplace, on a front porch, in an entryway, or next to the tree. And they carry that unmistakable charm of something made by hand, not mass-produced.
What makes their pieces special is the balance of clean lines and warm details:
Sturdy, geometric wooden frames
Rich holiday colors like red, green, white, and black
High-quality bows and accents
A design that works with both rustic and modern Christmas décor
The effect is simple, timeless, and surprisingly elegant. These are décor pieces you unpack year after year… not the kind that go out of style.
Because Hawken’s Harvest is just getting started, quantities are limited and everything is made in small batches. Most updates, available products, and ordering details are posted on their Facebook page as items are finished.
If you love supporting local makers, especially the ones quietly crafting beautiful things in small Michigan towns, this is a business worth following early.
